Jobs Critical to Sustaining Growth in the Western Balkans VIENNA, Oct. 7, 2025—Economic growth in the Western Balkans is expected to moderately accelerate in 2026 and recover more robustly in 2027, supported by stronger exports and investment as uncertainty ...

1. According to the World Bank report, the Western Balkans face a labor market paradox: labor shortages persist in certain sectors alongside high unemployment rates—above 10 percent—and low labor force participation, which remains below 55 percent, particularly among women, youth, and older adults.⬇️

Yes, we remember the Mavi Marmara...

the authoritarian techbro cult wishes to subjugate humanity - the good news is that these are pathetic creeps and we can beat them

An outstanding interview. Patrick Iber of Dissent Magazine has interviewed the legendary Polish political scientist Adam Przeworski about de-democratisation in the USA, and what lessons he’s gleaned from Chile, Peru & beyond.

Iber’s questions are stellar. Przeworski’s answers, chillingly candid.

There is a ridiculous claim that Stockholm is built on 14 islands but the list is total nonsense. I will sort this out

Saudi Arabia signing a defence treaty with Pakistan in which Pakistan extends its nuclear umbrella over Saudi Arabia is one of the most significant stories of the last week. It's weird how little it was covered.

Oggi elezioni in Moldavia 🇲🇩

Greece and Italy have also signed the ICC but Netanyahu knows our governments are not gonna stop him

Ah vedi, quando si dice l'intuito. Be', vediamoci per un caffè entro i prossimi 15 anni allora.

Quanto resti in città?

Good morning from Brussels, where we have solutions for all the questions no one has ever asked.

Il Corriere la deve smettere di usare le mappe del globo in proiezione di Mercatore.

Wiki "As of September 2025, the State of Palestine is recognised as a sovereign state by 150 of the 193 member states of the United Nations"

So 153 now

What is this, 2015?

Dave Keating is writing a book. And Mr “Ethical Lobby” Alberto Alemanno is still on X

I don't know about you, but as a European, I strongly get the impression by events like these that the U.S. is rapidly descending into full-blown fascism. Or a dictatorship, if you prefer that word.

What if they were paid by their employers instead?

Ep.119: Post-Truth Nation Pavol Szalai on defending media in Slovakia.

It's not just America. Some of the biggest spreaders of conspiracies and disinformation are now in top government posts in Slovakia where the national broadcaster is coming under political control. The EU may soon have its own post-truth nation.

In Italy we have no qualms about calling out fascism because we know what it is and how to recognise it. In Britain fascism has always been seen as something that could only happen elsewhere. Well, now the fascists are among you, openly, proudly even. It's time to wake up and push back.

I do wonder if Scottish Labour remember that this voting bloc (non-citizen voters) is now actually really sizable in Scotland and can absolutely be the difference between a NOC parliament and an SNP majority.

Was delighted in particular to tell a wee lad from the Philippines that he is entitled to vote in Scotland despite not being a citizen. Genuinely heartwarming to tell someone they have rights and power to resist

Went canvassing today. Four different people said they are concerned about immigration, by which they all meant they are concerned by how demonised it is and blame Labour for failing to fight fascism. Inner city Glasgow. Stick that in your narratives

Top *eight* articles on NYT devoted to Charlie Kirk, top one asks if he will be remembered like MLK. This is a man who only a tiny percent of Americans had even heard of before his death, whose views are too nasty for NYT to detail. But they are trying so hard to turn into martyr.

i dont think anything can really be concretely said to have been found out about the shooter beyond the fact that the press were extremely happy to help the republican party with a completely unsupported anti-trans blood libel. this latter fact is really the only thing that matters atm

We don't do propaganda to make you believe something. It's to make you believe nothing. So you do nothing.
